Indeed it's a thorny subject, but delegating the decision to NE sounds like a cop-out. Whatever hard data NE used in it decision making (population, area, administrative status, connectedness...) should be available in OSM, and the subjective algorythm that takes this data to output a global place ranking could go either in the style or in a common extraction script. For that matter, how does the osmfr style do its place ranking ? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
